Carob (ceratonia siliqua) is a pod of an evergreen tree of the Mediterranean region. The long pod is ground into powder and consumed for its chocolate like taste. Carob powder is said to taste like the finest chocolate.
Historically carob is also known as Alagroba, Karoub, Caroubier, and St. John's bread. Carob with wild honey was believed to have nourished St. John in the wilderness. Carob is the husk which provided food for the Bible's prodigal son.
Carob shake recipe: Mix in your blender two cups of milk, 3 tablespoons of carob powder, two tablespoons of honey, or raw sugar with a little vanilla. You can now add anything to enhance nutrition, like a bit of brewer's yeast, or some finely ground sunflower seeds, or a couple of tablespoons of powdered milk. Drink this warm as an autumn treat.
